Abstract

As the scale of broadcasting systems gets bigger and the functionality of broadcasting devices becomes diverse, networking facilities are being incorporated within recent broadcasting devices. Although networked devices can perform many of the additional functionalities, an effective management becomes a difficult issue. Therefore, it is essential to provide an automated management system for monitoring and controlling distributed broadcasting devices across a network. SNMP (Simple Network Management System) is one of the enabling technologies that we could adopt when we build such a system. However, SNMP-based solution has its limitations. In this paper. we propose the TMS800 system, which is a metadata-based device management system on top of SNMP framework. The system is specifically designed for the management of distributed broadcasting devices. It makes it possible to monitor not only the status of devices, but also the videos in the form of still images. Remote control and real-time notification facilities are also provided.

방송 시스템이 거대해지고 방송 장비들의 기능이 다양해지면서 방송장비들에도 네트워크 기능이 첨가되고 있다. 그러나 방송장비에 특화된 관리 시스템은 전무한 상태라 할 수 있다. 네트워크에 접속된 장비들은 네트워크에 접속하지 않을 때보다 훨씬 더 많은 기능을 수행해 낼 수 있는 반면에 관리하기 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 따라서 네트워크를 통한 자동화된 관리 시스템은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 하지만 방송 장비를 네트워크상에서 관리하기 위해서는 기존의 SNMP 방식만으로는 한계점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 메타데이타를 사용하여 방송장비를 관리할 수 있는 시스템(TMS800)을 제안한다. TMS800은 네트워크에 분산된 각종 방송 장비의 상태뿐만 아니라 영상정보도 이미지의 형태로 모니터링 할 수 있으며, 장비의 제어와 이상 발생 시 실시간으로 제공받는 기능을 제공한다.
